⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀They're still alive? Jellal thought to himself, while his heart gradually started pounding calmly to pounding wildly, as if there was loud drums thumping through his blood. His wife suddenly glanced at him, from feeling his sense of apprehension, since she did know him for the longest than anyone else she had met. Her eyes widened, vividly seeing how Jellal's rumples on his face began getting rigid. He barely had any rumples, or almost a zero point five, but they just appeared without fail.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀It was to her surprise, he was actually stuttering. Jellal wouldn't always act completely intimidated, and it was almost highly unlikely, however, there was something going on, why he felt so nervous. Although there seem to be another particle that will go up against the situation; Jellal only felt being in a dither believably because he strictly thought along time ago that these guys were already gone in the world. It was true, he had forgotten about them, since they didn't appear when he had woke up being in the headquarters of Ebusa Coast until now.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Course, everyone else knew the five mages; they all met them through the unforgettable train ride, where they couldn't escape. Ahead of time, Erza croaked her throat to get Jellal's attention, as he strictly looked at her the next moment. The scarlet haired woman created a hand gesture, while she waved her hand down, back and forth to tell him to take a step back and to take the next lead. Jellal quickly did that and he tries to ease himself, controlling his stutters, as he manages to do it longly.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Jellal looked straight the next moment, keeping his eyes at each of the enemy's individual, while everyone glanced at him. "We haven't seen each other since the moment all of us had gotten here," Jellal said, as he took his time to prepare himself. "You just showed up out of nowhere, was that your plan in the first place?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The men suddenly gasped, along with Jellal's family and the others. He seemed to be right; judging by the actions of the men. All of the men's mouths flew open, as their eyes widened, not expecting the blue head would ever know what was happening. However, one of them turned his head down and abandoned himself being awed, only looking at the Heavenly Body Mage with a frown. He jerked his mouth, putting his lips to the side of his face.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I can't be so surprised, Fernandes," the man said. "I should've remembered your ability to use that brain of yours very wisely — however, I think we could outsmart you and take your daughter away as easy as we think it could be. Remember, Jeraline was our goal, since the very beginning." He got his magic up and ready, as his companions took an eye first on each Fairy Tail and Mermaid Heel member.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Not expecting anything, Jellal let out a grin. "How many times have I heard that saying, of Jeraline being your target?" he asked, then turning his lips into a frown. "Also, there is a possibility that you could outsmart me — but can you outsmart us?" In the other's opinions, it was most likely impossible, because Jellal just defrauded the direction again.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Not waiting any longer, Erza cleared her throat to get Jellal's attention again and in the next split second, he called her name as she stopped and stepped herself ready. Her sword appeared right in her palm, standing firm and waiting for the blow. "Kagura, Milliana, Wally, Shô, take on guard of the others besides the two men we've got. They're not talking royalty like nothing, I suggest remembering how they were when you met them."
